I recently went through a bunch of photos in an old album and had a few amusing moments looking back at myself as a teen. I had been given the Bo Bunny Juliet paper so thought I would use this to scrapbook some of these photos. At first I planned to do my first ball photo so merrily started pulling papers and fussy cutting flowers. After a while, I started having doubts about the colour as it was beginning to look rather red whereas my dress was quite maroon. So I looked at another photo from my second ball and decided it was a bit of a better match. I don't think I have ever changed the photo on a layout before but I am glad I did.Here is my layout, it is rather flowery!

Before I started with the layering, I added some stamping using distress ink and a prima stamp (Joanna had these in stock, beautiful windows) but decided that one image was a bit dark so it ended up covered with stamps hehe. Then I pulled out my Bo Bunny foil rubons - oh my goodness these are beautiful! I found they were a little sensitive, as in as soon as they went on the paper, they stuck, and they also rubbed off as well as rubbing on, but I found that I really liked this look. It meant I could add some of a rubon in one place and then more of the same one in another place. It was fun! I went a little overboard which is when I discovered they could be rubbed off as well...I removed a butterfly that just looked wrong and then also distressed some of the other rubons by taking some off. I really enjoyed playing with these and the end result looks a lot like embossing powder.I had started with Amore as my background and framed this with the yellow side of Tribute. I wanted to use a decent size piece of Soulmate so placed this to the bottom right and layered some more paper and my photo on top. I then went CRAAAZY with fussy cutting the flowers out of Milan....I think I used the whole sheet...and layered these all over. A few stickers from the stickers sheet and I was done, perhaps not before time hehe!

I started scrapbooking when I lived in Australia in the back of beyond and made the mistake of going into the local post office....aka the shop I spent the most money in (not that there was a lot to choose from). There I discovered scrapbooking supplies as well as a weekly class on a Tuesday night and haven't looked back since then!
